I did not know that they werent true spiders, maybe because of the name they give this arachnid I got confused, but thank you for the information
They are solifugids (order: solifugae), whereas true spiders belong to the order Araneae.
Oh they are not spiders? What are they then?
Wow yeah, they are definitely rare!
Very nice find! Like spiders, Camel spiders are arachnids, but they belong to a different order, the solifugae (in other words they are not true spiders).
This are terrifiying spiders, but at the same time so different and rare.
